Funeral will be Tuesday at 10 AM.
Cause of Death - Covid.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostWell, the recoveries certainly are! They barely ever get a mention.
And, since the newer cases seem to be largely YOUNGER people, you may be disappointed to see the death rate not rise as dramatically as you might hope.
It is possible like in other countries the later second surge is due to more younger people getting infected.Last edited by shunyadragon; 07-06-2020, 05:26 PM.Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

Originally posted by shunyadragon View PostWell the Chinese did publicize the recovers with great fanfare, but yes underestimated the fatalities by at least 200 to 300%.
Very much a separate issue.
In fact I predicted not only the June surge in cases and hospitalization, but also the severity and fatality rate will drop off as the pandemic progresses. The pandemic will most likely naturally fade before the November election, and possibly disappear. I also predicted that Trump will do victory dances claiming he defeated the virus like China did, and he has done nothing meaningful to impact the extent and severity of the pandemic.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Nope - very much a RELATED issue.
Wow, you just might lose your Gloom and Doom badge!
The reality is the IFR (fatality rate) is unknown still awaiting better data. The data may be 1% or there abouts up to 3-5 percent in different areas of the globe estimates, because of the large number of mild and asymptomatic cases. The tragedy is the much greater death rate among serious and hospital cases than the flu, and the tens of thousands of slow and painful recoveries in the USA alone.
The bottom line is it is not 99% harmless.Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

The number of burial urns is factual report not publicized by the US government.Last edited by shunyadragon; 07-07-2020, 08:07 AM.Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.
